Akron Public Schools Superintendent Michael Robinson is facing accusations that he used a derogatory word to refer to a pair of female reporters.
Former district communications director Mark Williamson makes the allegation in a letter sent to the APS legal counsel earlier this month.
Williamson suggests that Robinson's use of the word to refer to the reporters is part of a pattern of behavior demonstrating indorenate hostility on the part of the superintendent.
The school district currently has an outside investigator looking into Robinson and his team.
